If you want to bypass the build phase and quick boot the board, you can download the image tarball and the kernel then follow the installation procedure.
## Setting up your operating system
+
The very first step is to ensure that your system can run the build system of the Yocto Project.
**Important**: it only runs on Linux
- * if your system is Windows© or iOS© you should use a virtualization solution (Virtualbox, VMWare ...) to run a Linux VM on your system.

For AGL 2.1, Yocto Project 2.1, known as krogoth, has been selected for the BSP and build system.
Reference data for configuring your system can be found in the Yocto documentation [Here][yocto ref Manual]

Here after an extract of this documentation for most common Linux distributions:
* The build system should be able to run on any modern distributions that has the following versions for:
- * Python
- * Git 1.7.8 or greater

- * GCC, …

# Download AGL Source Code
+
The AGL source code and Yocto layers are maintained on the AGL Gerrit server.
For information on how to create accounts for gerrit see [Getting Started with AGL][Getting Started with AGL].
## Setting up the build environment
+
In the following, your top level directory is noted as “AGL_TOP”.
For example, we will set AGL_TOP to point to a directory “$HOME/workspace_agl”:
-```
+```bash
export AGL_TOP=$HOME/workspace_agl
mkdir -p $AGL_TOP
```
## Prepare Repo Tool
+
AGL Uses the 'repo' tool for managing repositories.
You need to setup layers of AGL.
You can use the commands below to prepare Repo:
-```
+```bash
mkdir -p ~/bin
export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
```
-#### Note:
+**Note**:
+
* More information about the tool 'repo' [Here][repo info]
## Download source
+
You can choose your source release
### Download Latest Stable Release
+
To download all layers for the for the latest stable release, Chinook 3.0.1:
-```
+```bash
cd $AGL_TOP
repo init -b chinook -m chinook_3.0.1.xml -u https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/AGL/AGL-repo
repo sync
```
### Download Latest on Chinook Branch
+
To download all layers on the current release branch which may be in the midst of testing or changes prior to the next stable release:
-```
+```bash
cd $AGL_TOP
repo init -b chinook -u https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/AGL/AGL-repo
repo sync
```
### Download Master Branch
+
To download all code from master:
-```
+```bash
cd $AGL_TOP
repo init -u https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/AGL/AGL-repo
repo sync
```
## Set up Build Environment Info
+
AGL has created a set up script for defining the target build and desired optional features.
To get a complete list of the options available run.
-```
+```bash
cd $AGL_TOP
